The New Year Ride to Chilka The Blue Lagoon


Day 2
Well, after another week I'm back to blogging. Sorry dear friends.
So We were resting in Hotel Sai. We were so damn tired that as soon as we went to bed we were deep asleep. At morning I woke up around 7am & saw others still sleeping, and in another room found Sayan also woke up. We decided to go near the lagoon, it was just in 800mtrs from our hotel. We had some kachuri/puri, whatever it was called there, reaching at the side of the lagoon. the sight from that place was too good. We saw a little hill at the middle of the lagoon just wrapped in blanket of fog. We only could see the top of the hill. We asked for a boat and hearing the cost of trip we did retreat. :( I decided to go a temple on a hill just behind our hotel, but we had to lock our two bikes under the hill and go by foot, which was not a wise decision. So Sayan gave a idea to go to the mountains besides the NH5 we saw on the previous night. Well enough. We went done some photo shoots there. In the mean time when we were planning how we can ride on the top we met a person who was likely to be the site-engineer in the remodeling of NH5. He was so glad to see us, that to our utter surprise he made a road map on his notebook of the temple I stated earlier and gave it to us. We heard the Orissa people are not so co-opeative, but that guy proved us wrong.
Now it was around 10 in the morning. We got a call from Pikonda that we had to leave one room. It was almost done when we reached to hotel. When the others went to get their breakfast I went to do some engine works. We had planned according to the distance, 1st Narayani Temple which is the most known temple in Chilka, people from distant places come here to visit around the year. We saw a picnic spot also just beside the Mandir. We went a bit far by the road behind the temple, the road was awesome for some cornering and we did a bit too!! We've done some photo shoot near the hill nd spend some time there. Our next destination was Nirmaljhara, its a temple too, actually its a small water body surrounded by 4 temple. We had some tea and fag break there, enjoyed the scenic beauty of the hills. It was already 4pm, we already skipped lunch, so we decided to come back to hotel. We had njoyed singara nd rosogolla in a sweetshop, it tasted too good as we were too hungry to eat anything. It was getting dark slowly, the NEW year was just after 6 hrs. As soon as we reached our hotel Abhishek gave a beautiful plan of boozing in the bar just opposite of our hotel. We agreed and went there for some beer and yummi Chicken Pakora!!! We njoyed a lot there really. Near about 10 in the night we came back to hotel. We had to start for our home the next day. We all were a bit sad and dizzy. Just before the 12 o'clock the sky of Chilka was splashed by the light. At last we realized we have done it, we almost done the NEW YEAR RIDE TO CHILKA. We were too happy...
We will again do such kinda journey in the next year..We promised to ourselves...yeah...we will do it again...
